Is this on her doctor's plan? Cuz she's only 1 week out. That's a pretty tricky time.

First off. You are not LITERALLY dying. You are experiencing head hunger. Tell yourself that and name the reality. Do not let your head dictate and reinforce a lie.

It is HARD. Dealing with the head hunger was one of the worst parts about recovery and the process. But please, it is very important to follow your doctor's and RD's progression plan. No you CAN'T have any of the things you mentioned--unless maybe you want to put and emergency call into your doc and ask for his or her permission to progress your diet as you are suggesting.
It's a short, temporary stage. Work your plan and your plan will work for you. This is the time to take advantage of it. What stage are you in? If I read this correctly you are in Stage 2: Full liquids?

Here are suggestions for full liquids:
1. Creamed Soups made with Fairlife Milk, spice them up with garlic powder, or your favorite spice. Make sure to strain out any lumps. Eat it slowly. (You can add Protein Powder to it - unsweetened, while it is cool and get the clumps out, then gently heat to no more than 140degrees to prevent Protein coagulation = lumps.

2. Make Greek yogurt, plain unsweetened, and sweeten with your favorite drops with zero cals. Thin them out with Premier Protein or with Fairlife Milk until it is a cream Soup consistency. Or get sugar free fat free Kefir and thin it out to cream soup consistency. Eat it slowly.

3. Use broth and doctor it up with unflavored protein powder + flavorings:

pizza = Broth + 1-2 tbsp low sugar, low cal, low carb marinara (strain it before eating)
Mexican Tortilla = Broth + 1-2 tbsp mild enchilada sauce or Taco Bell Mild Sauce + garlic + cumin
Asian (Pho) = Broth + 1-2 tbsp Walden Farms Asian or Sesame Ginger + Chinese Five Spice Powder + granulated garlic + a couple drops sesame oil

4. Eat a sugar free popsicle

5. Eat a sugar free jello

Drink your Water and concentrate on getting 100% of your water in! When hungry or head hunger hits, drink a glass of water slowly as you're instructed for your stage, and get up and walk. Then get creative by coloring or doing something that occupies your mind and your hands.

Do four square breathing (google it).
Get outside if weather permits.
Talk to your family or a friend or get busy posting here.
Quit watching TV commercials and break up with FoodTV and food channels.
You can do this. It's only 1 more week. You have this. Maximize this opportunity. No one every regrets maximizing their success.

alright now MRS. Sophie lol... leave that for us single girls.....

This is gonna sound like bragging, and I guess it is....but for the first time in my life my waist size and inseam size in pants is the same number: 32
At my biggest I was a 60" waist, so this is REALLY a huge milestone for me. My surgery was November 2016.
Started at 485. Current weight 200.

Its been 5 months since my surgery and i have lost 95lbs. I would have never imagined this much weight to come off before i had the surgery. I am so happy. This is a short post. Just wanted to share my happiness with all of you.
